Why Polis was born

The Problem of Parking

California is a “car culture” and L.A. is the epicenter. With its poor mass transit, parking has never been more challenging, adversely impacting the economic, environmental, and social life of this metropolis. We’ve begun by tackling the urgent parking needs of L.A., and soon will be expanding to NYC, San Francisco and dozens of other cities.

Despite inroads from Uber and the distant dream of self-driving cars, today the typical driver faces an difficult parking environment that is not soon to disappear. This is caused by the reliance of city government on the revenue generated from the management of parking spaces and parking violations. Further, city dwellers and unsuspecting visitors are forced to navigate a confusing signage system that may include no fewer than 7 separate postings regarding the parking availability on a particular street.

Did you know that it takes an average of 12 minutes to locate parking in L.A.? What would you do with 12 more minutes a day?

A mistake interpreting needlessly confusing parking signs or a 60 second meter expiration can result in ticket fines upwards of $69-$109! The situation is oppressive and difficult to challenge for residents and visitors. There’s also the effect on our environment, think of the pollution each driver is adding to the city and how C02 can be reduced significantly by reducing the time drivers spend looking for parking. 30% of street congestion is made up of drivers looking for a parking spot.

The city of LA earns $160 million a year from parking fines! NYC over $500 million!
